Description
This is a plain velvet cushion in a soft mineral blue, finished with a contrasting piped edge in blush pink. The face and reverse are the same clear, unpatterned colour, so the interest comes from the velvet pile itself and from that single line of pink piping tracing the seam. At 45 by 45cm it is a generous square, larger than the standard scatter cushion, which is worth knowing before you buy: it fills a corner of a sofa properly rather than getting lost among bigger pieces.
A plain velvet in a muted blue-green like this is one of the easiest cushions to place. It sits happily on a neutral sofa, a linen-look armchair or the head of a bed, and the blush piping gives you a second colour to pick up in a throw or a nearby cushion. Because both sides match, you never need to worry which way it faces when you plump it back into place. It suits a living room that already has a colour or two going on, and it works just as well as the calmer element in a mixed pile of patterned cushions.
The cover is made from 100% polyester with a velvet feel, which is a practical choice for something that gets sat on and leant against daily: polyester holds its colour well and stands up to regular use. A zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover comes off for cleaning and goes back on easily. The piped trim is stitched into the seam, giving the edge a little structure and a defined outline. The Meridian range runs to several colourways with the same plain front and contrasting piped edge, so you can build a set that coordinates without matching exactly.

Frequently Asked
Is the cushion the same colour on both sides?
Yes. The front and reverse are both the plain mineral blue velvet, so it looks the same whichever way it sits on your sofa or bed.
What is the piping colour?
The piped edge is a soft blush pink, contrasting with the mineral blue body and giving you a second shade to pick up elsewhere in the room.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can take the cover off and put it back on without any trouble.
How big is it compared with a standard cushion?
At 45 by 45cm it is a generous square, larger than the usual scatter cushion, so it holds its own on a sofa rather than disappearing.
What is the fabric made from?
The cover is 100% polyester with a soft velvet feel. Polyester keeps its colour well and copes with everyday use, which suits a cushion that gets leant on.
